After exactly 3,000 days, some 72,000 hours and over 2-million minutes -- a new Cat Diary entry? I'll keep it short. I've been sneaking looks at the diaries again. Mars and Raffi and are still around. Mars is a little slower. Raffi is a lot smarter. They've been outspoken in how we have treated them over these past eight years. I'll share what I can, when I can. For now, check out Raffi talking about the hot weather... <a href="http://www.catdiary.com/">CAT DIARY</a> <a href="http://www.catdiary.com">www.catdiary.com</a> I have a lot of catching up to do. Portland people know what I've been up to the last eight years. It's tough to talk about but I am finding the words again. I was more than busy with the radio show which is on hiatus, AND my NBA schedule - which is enough to keep any normal person occupied (Shameless plug: NBA2K24 video releases next month. When you or your kids play games in Portland, that'll be my voice you can hear!) AND when you visit the Cat Diary page I went ahead and narrated the entry I found from Raffi. It takes just a few minutes to hear, and I sure enjoyed reading it aloud. I just couldn't do it loud enough so that they would hear me -- then I'd be in BIG trouble. So this is all between us. You can comment on the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/catdiary" target="_blank">Cat Diary Facebook Page</a> (I hope you do) and let's see how things play out. If the cats are oblivious to my snooping around, we can do it again. <a href="mailto:catdiary@catdiary.com?subject=CAT DIARY AROUND THE WORLD">Where do you read Cat Diary?</a> - In what country did you read the latest entry? Have you hugged your cat today? (does not require an answer) PLEASE share the subscription address with your cat friends. Send them to <a href="http://www.catdiary.com">www.catdiary.com</a> or forward them this e-mail!  They will thank you for it. Sorry it took eight years between emails.

CAT DIARY 10/23/09

<div align="center"> <table width="600" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="600" bgcolor="#ffffff"> <table width="580" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="10" cellspacing="0" height="791"> <tr> <td width="580" bgcolor="#ffffff" height="509"> <img src="http://home.comcast.net/~catdiary/cat-email-header.jpg" width="600" height="182" /> Big Owner's Turn: So much catching up to do. There are a bunch of subscribers who are joining us after a longggggg absence. If *you* thought I disappeared, these people probably thought I was abducted. Best place to catch up is on the website and Discussion Board. In the meantime, thank you for all the nice comments about Indy and Mars. They are indeed looking good and feeling frisky. Nice (or sad) thing about these stories is that they are ALL TRUE! So it's nice to have someone along that shares my pain! :-) Much of my week has been updating the home page (I couldn't believe the subscription link was busted -- no wonder I didn't see any new faces. I was beginning to feel lonely!) and some of the deeper links. It remains an ongoing process. Looks like Indy and Mars have also added a FACEBOOK page. See it on our home page at <a href="http://www.catdiary.com"> www.catdiary.com</a> and become their fan, if you dare. Even *I* post on the <a href="http://www.catdiary.com">DISCUSSION BOARD</a> (Feline Furum) Since we upgraded, it has been a great resource for CD readers. As long as it's about cats, right? The <a href="http://www.catdiary.com">PICTURE PAGE</a> is back to your photos. Indy and Mars heads are huge after they saw a page dedicated just to them. I suspect that's why they started their Facebook page, so they can post some of their own photos without my intrusion. Oh, and that video on the home page. I think it's fake. What do you think?
